Line 10:
See [[As You Know]] for the expository version of this trope. Compare [[And That's Terrible]] or [[Flat Joy]].
Appears quite a lot in cases of [[Lull Destruction]]. Do not confuse with [[Is This What Anger Feels Like?]], in which the perpetually jubilant character deals with anger for the first time, or [[I'll Kill You!]].
{{examples}}
Line 47:
* And similarly, in ''[[Austin Powers]]:''
{{quote|"That makes me angry! And when Dr. Evil gets angry, Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset! And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset ... people DIE!"}}
* ''[[Enchanted]]'' has this when Giselle gets angry, but here it's justified because it's the first time she's actually ''felt'' the emotion anger.
{{quote|'''Giselle''': You make me so...so...''ANGRY!''...[[Mood Whiplash|Ha ha! I'm angry!]]...I'm angry...I'M ANGRY! [[Mood Whiplash|*punches Robert in the arm*]]}}
** This also happens to be her [[Love Epiphany]], so it's possibly the first time she felt any strong emotion toward someone.
Line 76:
** And that wasn't him expressing his own feelings (at least, not directly), but what he was instructing the viewers to do.
* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' in the sketch of the cook he says "And it makes me feel so mad!"
** And in ''[[Monty Python and
* From ''[[Twins]]'': "For the first time in my life I... PISSED OFF!"
* Rare dramatic example: in the film ''Manhattan'', Mariel Hemingway's line "Now I don't feel so good" is delivered with such innocence that it's just heart-breaking.
Line 87:
{{quote|'''Graham''': Ahh! I'm insane with anger!}}
* In one scene of ''[[A Cinderella Story]]'', Fiona told her daughters she was upset. When one of the daughters told her she didn't seem to be upset, she said it was because of botox.
* Played with in ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]] 3''. Disguised as {{spoiler|Dewey}}, the killer has a phone conversation with {{spoiler|Jennifer Jolie's bodyguard}} while {{spoiler|he's looking through Dewey's trailer}}. When he insults "{{spoiler|Dewey}}" over the phone, the killer responds with "That makes me... angry!" (with a definitive emphasis of rage on that last word), while bursting in and stabbing {{spoiler|him}} in the back.
* "Oh, [[Black Dynamite]]. I'm ''so'' happy."
* Happens frequently in ''Let Me In'', the remake of ''[[Let the Right One In]]''.
Line 110:
'''Turk:''' "You're an IDIOT."
'''JD:''' "Yes I am." }}
** Also when Jordan got botox and tried to smile Dr. Cox had to guess her emotion. Jordan did this after her neighbor's son called her "ma'am."
** [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny|The exact same thing was done in]] ''[[Seinfeld]]''.
*** George is getting upset!
Line 159:
== Music ==
* Ivor Cutler, one of the quirkiest men to have ever lived, sang a song that tells you he is happy in [http://elbo.ws/video/H5fA184R6EA/ the funniest way possible.]
* Lots and lots of songs. Those with uh...[[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment|negative themes,]] especially.
* "I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!" [[Captain Obvious|Now what do you suppose the artist is trying to convey with these lyrics?]]
Line 172:
== Theater and Opera ==
* [[William Shakespeare]] in ''[[Henry V]]'' has King Henry say "I was not angry since I came to France/Until this instant" when he sees a bunch of [[Moral Event Horizon|slaughtered boys.]]
** Fully [[Justified Trope|justified]] in Shakespeare's time -- modern acting (where we actually, y'know, act) didn't exist until the 19th century. Before that, "acting" consisted of standing up on stage in a costume to denote various characters and reading lines off the script -- often in a monotone. Think of all the times in high school English where the class had to read from the play and you'll soon realise why Shakespeare had his characters saying their emotions out loud.
* Happens in too many [[Opera|operas]] to count. Of course, rather than saying "I'm happy," characters will be singing "Sono felice," but it's the same idea.
* Act II of ''[[Into the Woods]]'' opens with the main characters singing about how perfectly happy they are--mostly to set up the ''huge'' subversion of [[Happily Ever After]] that immediately follows. They are arguably not perfectly happy even in that song; it's strongly implied that they are trying to convince themselves they are by repeating it over and over again.
Line 183:
* "...And it makes me violently angry..." as spoken by John Marston from [[Red Dead Redemption]], to Irish when discussing how whiskey affects the brain.
* From ''[[Cave Story]]'', Misery's "Heavens, that felt good!" {{spoiler|after dumping Balrog into the Labyrinth.}}
* The third verse of the bizarre boss fight/opera hybrid in ''[[
* ''[[Knights of the Old Republic (video game)|Knights of the Old Republic]] 2'' has the HK-50s' prefixes, such as "Mocking Query:" or "Condescending Statement:". HK-47 does this as well, but to a lesser extent, as he doesn't use adjectives.
** Usually because HK-47 is the [[Straight Man]] to the HK-50's [[Comic Relief]]. HK-47 can go on and on about philosophy with only a "Statement:" or two thrown in, but the HK-50s get more and more ridiculous as the game goes on, from "Condescending Explanation" up to "Unnecessary Statement" and "Ineffectual Command" (the last two from cut content, sadly).
Line 235:
** The Prince from ''[[Prince of Persia]]: [[Darker and Edgier|Warrior Within]]'' "[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/12/03 smolders with generic rage]".
** Also, Gabe wishes he could [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/4/9/ hate you to death.]
* ''[[8-Bit Theater
* ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'' has an instance similar to the ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' example in [http://exterminatusnow.comicgenesis.com/d/20080112.html this strip.]
* This ''[[Achewood]]'' comic: http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=06212002
Line 252:
== Western Animation ==
* Used constantly in ''[[Care Bears]]: Adventures in Care-a-lot''. Granted, the show is partially to help children learn to deal with their emotions, but that doesn't make it any less annoying.
** ''[[Ni Hao, Kai-Lan]]'' uses in the exact same way, for the exact same reason.
* Played with in ''[[Chowder]]''. Truffles ones has to resort to telling everyone that she's angry because she had her voice changed by a radio dial thing and her new voice ''never'' sounds anything but calm.
* Cartoon character Droopy does this all the time. ("You know what? I'm happy.") [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in that it's the only way to tell when he ''is'' happy. And because... well, because [[Rule of Funny|it's funny]].
Line 294:
* ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'': Egon, at Winston's birthday party, deadpans to him "I just want to let you know... I'm having a wonderful time."
* ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine]]'' plays it straight ''twice'' in the course of ''a minute'' in ''Misty Island Rescue''. Thomas tells the engines how losing [[MacGuffin|an important bit of cargo]] "makes me feel badly," and Sir Topham Hatt says, when he enters, "that makes me cross."
* Word for word by Superboy in ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]]''. As a [[Younger Than He Looks|six month old]] [[Cloning Blues|clone]] he's not very good at expressing his emotions.
* Mad Stan in ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' at one point offers "Now I'm REALLY mad!" during a fight with Batman. In case you somehow couldn't tell by the 5+ minute fight scene he'd already been through and his constant rantings against the evils of information.
* Inverted in ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' for the episode "Sven Höek", where Ren announces "I'm so angry" and describes various horrible things he's going to do to Stimpy and Sven, all in a semi-insane happy tone of voice.
